Junior QA Engineer

We are seeking a Junior QA Engineer (open to all ages subject to experience) to join our dynamic engineering team and make our QA team a trio! We already have 2 experienced QA Engineers and we are looking for someone who has some experience but most of all a drive and passion for testing to join us.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on manual testing experience with an interest in automation. They should be comfortable working with stakeholders and raising questions to understand project requirements.

Ideal Candidate will have:

• Previous experience in a testing role. We are open to the length and type of experience but please note this is a Junior role.
• A desire to grow and develop in a testing career
• A testing mindset
• Creation or exposure to documentation used in the Software Development Lifecycle
• Knowledge of testing principles and terminology

Any experience with the below are desirable but not essential:

• SQL and database testing
• Automation testing and tools (coded or codeless)
• Postman, or similar tools for API testing
• Playwright
• Jira, or other software development project management tools
• If you have a testing qualification, then great but it is not required, if you have any courses or research you have done that does not come with a certificate then we’d love to hear about those too!

Knowledge of G Suite applications would also be beneficial, specifically a good grasp of google sheets or excel.
